FOR CONGRESS
12th Cong. District
HON. GEO. 11. NOONAN
Election Tuesday. Nov. 6 ’94.3
THE LAWYER'S CALL.
There appears in the Express a
call for a Democratic meeting the
object stated is to further Gus.
Houston's congressional ambition.
The call has 140 signatures of
which 100 or more are members of
the bar: gentlemen who like the
fillies of the valley neither spin
nor weave neither shear sheep or
punch cattle who glory in other
people’s misfortunes and revel| in
other peoples troubles. Some few
business men are in the list and
very appropriately the members
of an undertaking establishment.
There are several names on this
call through courtesey—they sign
anything. The great mass of the
intelligent go-ahead business men
of this city are for Judge Noonan.
The great body of the everyday
good citizens of this city—men
who work and strive who feed
families by their toil are for Judge
Noonan. Democracy is a name—a
farce in view of the facts that stare
the average citizen in the face.
They want “to further the interests
of the Democratic nominees for
State and Congressional offices”
do they when the active potent
influential leaders of their party—-
throw party to the wind and look
out for themselves. Slip back
gentlemen to your offices plunge
into the darkness of your law’
books; or rattle your empty cof-
fins for good luck. By all means
keep your dead free trade party in
the morgue until the people say in
November “bury it for it stink-
eth.”
Those were brave patriotic
words spoken by Governor Mc-
Kinley on the banks of the Ohio
and echoed back by the rugged
hills of West Virginia and sent
upon the wings of the lightning
to that British banquet
hall where a Democrat call-
ing himself an American
was toadying to British flattery
and belittleing his native land and
its Institutions.” I beg to assure
Mr. Wilson of West Virginia that
the government of the United
States resting as it does upon the
■will of a free people is safe
and secure quite as secure as
the governments that are con-
ducted by the titled few’ and
that a free people like ours
capable of governing themselves
and having demonstrated the fact
for more than 100 years will be
alert enough to see to it that no
industrial policy shall long con-
tinue in this country that will
lower the condition of its people to
the level of European rivals and
rob them of their dignity and in-
dependence.”
In remarking about the recent
speech of Mr. Wilson at a banquet
given to that gentleman by the
English free traders the Express
says “the mutual felicitations ex-
pressed are very amusing when
read in connection with a survey
of the situation here where the
Democrats of the country are them-
selves shelving about sixty per
cent of the representatives re-
sponsible for the condition
Messrs. Wilson and Morton are
felicitating the world upon.” In
other w’ords the Express Gus
Houston’s organ tells its readers
that thepeopleof the United States
will elect a Republican Congress
as a rebuke to Mr. Wilson’s
British legislation and Gus Is in-
cluded in the slaughter.
The people of San Antonio will
be forced in the near future to
arouse themselves to the import-
ance of establishing manufactures
in this city.”—S.A. Express.
The first arousing of our citizens
in this direction will be on election
day by defeating Gus Houstonthe
free trade candidate for Congress.
What sense is there in talking
about manufactures as long as we
send free trade Democrats to Con-
gress? Come Mr. Express sing
the song of protection with proper
accompaniment.
THE TEXAS PAPERS SAY.
Cleburne Chronicle: ‘“lfChrist
Came to Congress’ is the title of
the latest campaign book by the
Pops. If there is anything in it to
boost a party going to pieces by
having its nonsense and tomfoolery
exposed the Pops in Johnson coun-
ty need it badly.
Tyler Democrat-Reporter: “The
man who is ready to declare that
advertising doesn’t pay is the man
w’he has never tried enough to
know’ whether it does or not.”
“It would puzzle the wisest phil-
osopher on earth to tell how all
the people in this country manage
to make a living and yet they do
all live and most of them keep fat
and sleek—the loafers and idlers
perhaps fatter and sleeker than
anybody else.”
* * *
San Jacinto Sentinel: “A young
man who waits until late in life to
decide what he is going to follow
and lets circumstances make him
rather than make the circum-
stances w’ill always regret that he
did not sooner decide.”
“There are so many people that
believe that they are talking for
somebody-else when they are talk-
ing for their Co. If the interest of
the county does not interest you
you ought to get out.”
El Paso Herald: “It is given
around town that gambling is about
to bo resumed and that tonight
will w’itness the reopening of the
Gem and the Astor House. The
gambling will be carried on how-
ever on the second floor. There is
considerable curiosity how’ever as
to w’hether the city authorities will
allow’ this; and if they do whether
or not other parties will not step in
and invoke the laws of the state.”
Fort Wort Mail: “Judge Reagan
says that the platform adopted by
the Dallas convention is suscept-
ible of two constructions one in
favor of free silver and the other
not. If this is true why did not
the Judge construe it in favor of
free silver and stay in the race ?”
“The abolition of the fee system
and the enactment in its stead of a
good road law that would give
Texas a system of improved public
thoroughfares would be a blessing
to our state.”
“Old Hutch the once millionaire
operator on the Chicago exchange
has opened a cigarette stand oppo-
site the Board of Trade building
and is selling cigarettes to mem-
bers of the Exchange at four cents
a package. This is a cruel revenge
he is taking on those who dow’ned
him but it will enable him to get
even with those who vanquished
him in the big wheat deal.”
Weekly Illuminator: “Every-
body know’s or ought to know that
this paper cannot subsist and run
on popularity and the good opin-
ion of its readers. So many people
tell us of what they are ‘going to
do.’ This ‘going’ to do’ business
means to make us close up for re-
pairs. Deeds we honor more than
words.”
< ♦ ♦
Laredo News: “Itis understood
that some members of a Catholic
sisterhood have arrived in this
city for the purpose of establishing
here a charity hospital. It is to be
hoped that It is true :andif it is true
they should receive every encourage
ment necessary. Laredo is very
much in need of a hospital.
Fort Worth Gazette: “Governor
Flower is a somewhat timid man
and he declines to ‘see’ Mr. Mor-
ton’s ante.”
“The combine of Republicans
and Populists in the Corpus Christi
district will give William Henry
Crain the first chance he has had
for constitutional exercise since he
entered Congress.”
Norton’s Union Intelligencer:
“If you are a Republican and have
at heart the welfare and building
up of the party in Texas make uo
your mind to vote the “Reform”
ticket headed by J no. B. Schmitz
and filled out with live progres-
sive and patriotic men.”
Houston Herald: “Jack the
Ripper’s” ’ murder of innocent
helpless white women in England
was ten times more atrocious than
any “lynching bee” that ever took
place in the south. And yet the
English authorities never arrested
and punished that bloody wretch.
Still England has plenty of time
to send clear over the ocean blue to
look after lynchings in the south
and her Jack the Rippers are still at
large and liable to murder more
women any day.”
* * *
Del Rio Record: “The Record
has a little business matter with
the United Stat* s marshai’.-| ollice
in San Antonio relating to the
publication of a marshal’s seizure
ind sale which has been pending
some time. We have written re-
peatedly to that office and can get
no kind of reply. If this is a sam-
ple of Democratic efficiency give us
any other kind. It is an outrage
on the public.”
“We asked one of Mr. Ware’s
deputy marshal’s recently if he
could say why no business was at-
tended to from the marshals office.
He replied that the clerks were
rushed with business which might
explain the delay. The editor then
visited Mr. Wares office in person.
Socially he found Mr. Ware a gen-
ial gentleman and so sociable in
fact that he and his clerks were
having a good old chat with
cigars in their mouths and their
feet on the table. Mr. Ware assur-
ed us that our business would be
looked up and attended to at once.
Since then his office haspaid no at-
tention to repeated letters. Now
we should like to know what kind
of an office Mr. Ware proposes to
run. Is public office a public
trust or is it a private snap.”
Special Mention.
Our entire stock of fall and win-
ter goods is now complete and an
early call will be to the advantage
of the public.
It issutil cient guarantee of sat-
isfaction n fit and style that the
popular Mr. 1). 11. Moriarty pro-
fessor of garment cutting for over
20 years in the principal cities of
the east and south is the cutter.

A BIG CHANCE.
165000 Acres of Fine Land at 75
Cents an Acre.
We are now offering a tract of landcontain-
ing one hundred and sixty-five thousand
acres and known as San Rodrigo tract situ
ated in the State of Coahuila Mexico about
thirty miles from the town of Cuidad Porfirio
Diaz formerly known as Piedras Negras on
the right bank ot the Rio Grande river. This
land lays opposite Fort Clark Texas. One-
third of this land is level bottom or prairie
one-third undulating and one-third iullyor
mountainous. The valley and undulating
land is susceptible of a high cultivation and
produces cotton corn sugar cane of superior
quality and all the cereals and is well calcu-
lated to produce coffee The land is also well
covered with an abundance of nutritious
grasses tor stock purposes and in the moun-
tains a plant called Soto! is abundant which
furnishes the best of food for sheep and cattle
during the winter season: this plantcontains
a great amount of saccharine matter and is
used extensively in Mexico for fattening pur-
poses.
The San Rodrigo river traverses this land
the head springs being located on the tract.
From this stream a large portion of this land
can be irrigated. There are also innumerable
springs of permanent water scattered over
the tract and water in wells from ten to tif
teen feet deep can bo secured. The soil
climate ami water facilities render this land
susceptible of the highest degree ot produc-
tion. Coal is to be found on this land and
mines are now being operate d in a large scale
nt the Sabinas river in Mexico and also
u dad Porfirio Diaz and near Eagle Pass in
exae. This tract lies between these pointe
here is every evidence also that silver is
lentiful in toe land. It being the general
opinion that coal and silver are abundant.
The Southern Pacific railroad passes along
the left bank of the Rio Grande river al-
most in sight of this land The Mexi-
can International railroad running from
Cuidad Porfirio Diaz Mexico to the
City of Mexico. is but a short
distance south of the tract. Both of these
trunk lines center at Eagle Pass Texas thus
giving an all rail connection with all parts of
| the United States of America and Mexico
The health and climatic properties of this
section cannot be excelled in any part of the
world. The inhabitants are a thrifty and
hospitable people and life and property is as
well protected as in any part of this conti-
nent. Under the able administration of Pres-
ident Diaz. Mexico has become a garden spot
as it were not only in agriculture mining
etc. but also In religious and political liberty
and any foreigners entering and investing
their money in Mexico can rest assured that
they will receive a hearty welcome. The title
to this land is absolutely perfect there being
but two transfers from the Government of
Mexico to the present owner. This land is
now offered at the remarkajUk low figure of
seventy-five cents per ucre. Vther a.l cash or
one-half cash and the balance in two notes of
one and two years with vendor's Hen bear-
ing interest at the rate of eight per cent per
